Cross body went out of favor with the cops and most self defense guru’s sometime ago. The thought is that it gives the bad guy a chance to pin your are across you. That said I have and do carry a 1911 in a shoulder holster - in certain situations where I am reasonably confident that I have freedom of movement. BTW both my shootings were under the legendary 7 yards.
I understand, but my carry weapon (only handgun I own for right now) is a Ruger SP101 - pretty compact, for a revolver.
Cross-body seems to allow me the quickest access to it, fanny-pack on right side doesn't allow the gun to be carried in an easy-to-access position.
Perfect solution is to get a small auto - in process of saving for one now - in love with the new Ruger I saw in AR last month.

The solution that I was taught is to sit down, draw and shoot upwards. If you still have to, turn your body to align with the perp.
